Re: [UK Reptiles] New snake New Member....Hello

Hi again,

I just typed build vivarium into Google, and selected the uk sites
button and that came up with loads of links.

Also, Clem has a plan for building a vivarium somewhere on the web, but I
can't remember where it is. I know I based my viv on it as I found them far
too expensive too. CLEM? Where is it?

Hi Nick

Thanks for your message. It has a mesh top on it secured with a clip
so its impossible for it to escape. It was bought for my Chameleon
originally but was too small.

Does anyone know of a cheap supplier of Vivariums. I went to
Watermarque in Taunton last week and they are soo expensive, really
small being £80 and one I would consider medium sized was £230. I
wouldnt mind having a crack of building my own.

Many thanks Nick.

Den
